Chapter 365 Sandra Is Suspected!
So before Mark could speak, Ronald had already scrambled to him!
With a tearful face, he begged for mercy. "Mr. Davis! Please, have mercy and spare me!"
Mark looked down at Ronald, his eyes filled with indifference.
Ronald's heart raced at this scene, prompting him to quickly add, "Mr. Davis, if you forgive me, I can offer all the money and resources I've accumulated over the years as a sign of respect, including the underground fight club. I can transfer everything to you unconditionally!
Please spare my pathetic life. Besides, I had nothing to do with Kenneth's death! I was as close to him as a friend; I could never harm him!"
Ronald's voice was hoarse from crying!
But his pleas did not move Mark!
Especially after his recent failures, Mark's mood was at rock bottom.
His tone was cold. "Since you claim to be such good friends with Kenneth, don't let him leave this world alone. Brian, kill him !"
Brian nodded. "Yes!"
Hearing this, Ronald turned pale with fear and stammered, "Brian! Didn't you tell me earlier that if I pinned the blame on Ryder tonight, you would spare me?"
Brian replied indifferently. "You say I said that, but who can prove it?"
"I..." Ronald's voice faltered!
Brian's statement was made privately, without a witness to corroborate it.
"But I..." Ronald unwillingly held his ground, but before he could speak, Brian lunged and clutched him by the throat.
Brian lifted him up!
Ronald's face turned red from suffocation, and he struggled violently, but he couldn't move at all against the overwhelming strength!
With a sudden exertion of force from Brian, Ronald's eyes widened, and then his body went limp.
He was dead.
Mark didn't even look at Ronald's body and calmly ordered, "Take care of it, just don't attract any trouble!"
"Yes!" Brian nodded, carrying Ronald's body out of the room.
At this moment, only Mark and Sandra were left in the room!
Seeing Ronald die in front of her, Sandra's face turned pale with fear!
Too much had happened tonight!
Mark suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Lift your head and look at me!"
"Huh? What?" Sandra was stunned for a moment, then lifted her head, looking bewildered!
Mark's tone was severe. "I ask you, how exactly did Kenneth die?"
Sandra quickly replied, "Kenneth was killed by Ryder! He hired someone to run him over with a car!"
Mark continued to ask, "It has nothing to do with you?"
Sandra naturally denied it, "Of course, it has nothing to do with me! Mr. Davis, you wouldn't believe what Ryder just made me do, would you? Ryder did it on purpose, can't you see that?"
"Then tell me, why was Kenneth's last phone call made to you?"
Sandra's heart trembled at his question!
Fortunately, she had prepared for this and answered, "I called to check on how he was dealing with Ryder. Who would have thought that while we were on the phone, he would have an accident?
If you really look into it, I do have some responsibility for Kenneth's death. If I hadn't urged him to go after Ryder, he wouldn't have been targeted and killed by Ryder!
Mr. Davis, if you're angry, punish me. Punish me in front of Kenneth's portrait; I don't mind!"
This statement made Mark frown!
If Sandra had outright denied it and pushed all the blame onto Ryder, he would have suspected her the most!
However, Sandra displayed her distress and proposed a punishment in front of Kenneth's portrait.
After all, Sandra was the woman his son had liked!
He naturally couldn't bear to harm her!
Moreover, Sandra had already knelt and apologized in front of Kenneth's portrait, enduring so much pain, which could be seen as a form of retribution!
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "You can go!"
Sandra, as if granted amnesty, quickly stood up and walked towards the door!
But as she reached the door, Mark suddenly spoke again, "Remember my words, if Kenneth's death was truly caused by someone else, I will drag them to hell!"
Sandra paused slightly but didn't respond, quickly leaving!
As soon as Sandra left, Brian returned to the room!
"Mr. Davis, Ronald has been taken care of. The only rumord on the street in Houston will be that Ronald committed suicide due to mental stress!" Brian said respectfully.
Mark nodded and asked, "What do you think of Sandra?"
Brian squinted slightly. "She's hard to read, but I feel that Mr. Kenneth Davis' death might not be as simple as it seems with her. We might have been manipulated by her! Also, the content of Mr. Kenneth Davis' last phone call has been found. We will soon have it!"
Mark took a deep breath and murmured softly, "Perhaps, no matter what, I had to face Ryder as an enemy from the beginning!"
Brian said, "Mr. Davis, with your foresight, no matter how formidable Ryder is, he will fall at your hands!"
Mark didn't speak, his eyes narrowing slightly as if reminiscing about something.
Meanwhile, Ryder went straight to George Security after returning from Mark's house.
In George's office, Ryder, Rex, George, Ryan, and others were gathered there!
George couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Clark, you're something else. In all my years in Houston, I've never heard of anyone offending Mark like that and coming out of his estate unscathed! Your plan was brilliant!"
Hearing this, Ryder smiled faintly. "Just routine."
Upon learning of Mark's banquet invitation, he recognized it as a trap he had no choice but to face.
So, he naturally made multiple preparations!
From checking Kenneth's phone messages, he learned about Olivia's existence, and surprisingly, she was the woman who caused trouble at Lily's pet store!
From her chat records with Kenneth, Ryder deduced that she was a manipulative woman!
So Ryder cunningly sent Ryan to seduce Olivia, and it worked!
With this assurance, Ryder felt confident enough to attend the banquet, even bringing a chocolate grenade!
This really caught them off guard!
Certainly, luck played a part; had Mark discerned their plan, the situation would've been less straightforward!
At this moment, Ryan grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and said to Ryder, "Ryder, I have another major discovery. Want to hear it?"
"Of course!" Ryder replied without hesitation!
Ryan chuckled, "Well, the reward..."
Ryder looked helpless and smiled bitterly. "I'll give you ten thousand dollars later. Go wherever you want, just make sure you don't die in the sex!"
"Deal!"
